Opening PHP File in Text Edit

I was opening a .php file in Lion using Text edit instead of my usual code editor. To my amazement it tried to open the file as a rtf file.
Then it told me the file was locked and then it automatically saved it as .rtf file and ended up corrupting the file and my php wasn't even reconizable.
To replace the file I grabed a backup and replaced the .php file and know never to open any .php files in text edit again.
The problem is that I was able edit php files in text edit in Snow Leopard without an corruption.
I do this type of editing very rarely. But I point this out to show the problems that this Lion has created with the automatic revisions.
That in addition to the lost of the Save As command leaves me somewhat hindered to use text edit as the basic editor of anything.
• htaccess files
• css
• html
• php
I'd love somehelp if anyone can tell me how to stop text edit from coverting files?

There really is no way to "address your issue" except to suggest you use TextWrangler instead, and also complain to Apple. You can not stop auto-save nor versioning in TextEdit (nor in Preview or Pages for that matter), nor get 'Save as...' back.
That said, TextEdit should not have done anything to a php file except open it as a plain text file. The "Locked" that appears in the title bar means in order to change anything in the file you have to mouse over the "Locked" in the title bar until you see a small undistinguished triangle, and then click on the now visible disclosure triangle that has appeared and either Unlock, to change that file, or choose Duplicate to get a copy to work on. Or you can simply attempt to make a change, and you will get a drop down sheet offering those two choices. If you unlock the file "Locked" will change to Edited and the disclosure triangle will then allow you to look at your current version and the original, and you can restore the original.
I assigned php files to TextEdit to open, and I also have "Ignore rich text commands in HTML files" checked in TE prefs, Open and Save section, and the default format is Plain Text.

  • How to open .php files on mac

    when i tried to click to listen to an audio online, i get this message "the flip for mac plug-in needs your permission to run it".
    Then i clicked "run" and get this:
    "Track.php
    QuickTime Player can't open "track.php" because the movie's file format isn't recognized.
    To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More."
    Thanks.

    What am I massing here?  A .php file is not a movie or sound file.  It's script (text I believe). It's on the server.  Even if you downloaded it you couldn't do anything with it other than steer at the code (text).  Wiki has as good a definition as any as to what php files are.
    I would assume that when you click on a php link on a web site it cause code on the server to do what is instructed by that script.  If it's to play a movie or sound or whatever that that is what the script is instructing the server to do.
    If you clicked on a link and got the error you saw in your first post then there is a problem with that web page's html (another scripting language) and it's access to executing the .php file.

    I guess the answer to your original question in the title of this thread -- how do you open .php files? -- you don't.

  • Safari doesn't open PHP files

    If i try to open a PHP file in safari, it shows the code. If the PHP file isn't local, for example, on a local website (using air sharing on my ipod touch and adding php files to it), it will download the file. If I open it there, it will only display the codes like it does on the original file on my mac. I'm trying to use wordpress but it doesn't work. Once I think i saw some of the page working (it was the login page and it was PHP). But i've tried everything i could do but it never worked again. Please help me! Thanks!

    You don't open PHP files in Safari.
    Safari doesn't know how to run PHP code so it just displays the file content.
    You need to run them under a web server - the web server runs the code and outputs the appropriate content.
    By default, on Mac OS X you start up the built-in web server (System Preferences -> Sharing -> Personal Web Sharing) and should place the files in /Library/WebServer/Documents/
    You then access them in Safari via something like:
    http://localhost/my.php

  • My macBook Pro is 2 months old and I can't open any of my text edit documents.

    My macBook Pro 13 inch is 2 months old and I can't open any of my text edit documents all of the sudden.

    If this is because textEdit will not open, run Disk Utility.
    The "heavy lifting" is done by ( Repair disk ). If that is grayed out, you can use ( Verify Disk ), as long as no errors are found.
    Then use ( Repair Permissions ). This is used to fix Applications that will not open because their permissions got damaged, otherwise it does almost nothing.

  • I can't set Firefox to open PHP files with Firefox (in preferences- applications-php files) Firefox won't accept anything but "always ask" and Preview. I want to preview php files in Bbedit and that requires that Firefox can open it.

    with an open php file in Bbedit (Macintosh) it was possible to preview appearance by chosing "Preview in.." in Bbedit's "Markup" menu. This called Firefox to open and display the file. Now, doing this continually repeats a "Open with (choose)" request.

    Unfortunately this solution doesn't work for me for local files (on my computer). Still I can only choose to open in Notepad or "other". It seems that I can select Firefox, but it won't do anything when I actually select it.... I did NOT have this problem with the previous version of Firefox (before 6.0.2). The only thing that's changed, is the Firefox update from yesterday (September 28th, 2011).

  • Can I open .ai file w/ text editor and edit linked file path?

    I want to relink a placed file in a lot of illustrator files to a new file with a different name. I've tried setting up various actions but it is not doing what I need. If I open the file in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Text Wrangler, I can find the linked file path in two places, if I edit this path and save the file (still with .ai extension) I thought the link would change, but when I reopen the file, it does not change. Any ideas?
    If I make an action to relink a file, the action will only place a new file but not replace the old one. I also can't get it to place into a specific layer.
    Any ideas?

    CSS files are plain text with no links, so what you see is all there is.
    In order to apply CSS to HTML, you need a <link> tag in your HTML.
    If you install the Web Developer Extension from the Firefox add-ons site, there is a handy "Edit CSS" sidebar that lets you play with style rules and see the effects live. Note that this pane is not saved, so if you switch tabs, you lose your changes. Make sure to copy out any changes you want to remember.

  • When I save an rtf file in text edit, it retrieves with codes

    Every time I save an RTF file since lion, when I later retrieve a file it's code filled file. Does anyone know what this is and how to prevent it (or tell text edit to retrieve normally)?
    example from a recent file:

  • Why Can't I Open PHP Files on My New Mac?

    I can open them fine in Firefox or Explorer on both my PC and my iMac, but on my new Mac G5 it prompts me to save the file.
    Most disturbing...

    Well, needless to say, it dodn't work.
    Lone and behold, I do not have a httpd.conf file anywhere on my mac.
    AND
    On top of it all, I hardly understand what anyone is telling me or why they're telling me it. I understand step by step, and this is where it drives me nuts because I DO follow step by step directions and they don't work!
    Then people tell me to download all this software... They might as well recall Apache or OS 10 because if step by step directions can't be executed... Well, then it's not very good software.
    FROM MACROMEDIA HELP FILES
    Setup for Sample PHP Site
    Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 comes with sample PHP pages to let you build a small web application. This chapter describes one way to set up the sample application using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) or Personal Web Server (PWS). For more information on these web servers, see Installing a Web Server. If you're using a different web server, see "Setting Up a Web Application" in Using Dreamweaver Help.
    If you're a Macintosh user, you can either connect to a remote PHP server or develop PHP sites locally using the Apache web server and PHP application server installed with your operating system. For setup information, see the following websites:
    • developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/php.html
    • www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/
    Setting up a web application is a three-step process. First, configure your system. Second, define a Dreamweaver site. Third, connect the application to your database. This setup guide follows this three-step process.
    Configuring your system (PHP)
    You must configure your system before you can run PHP pages on it. Specifically, you must make sure a web server and a PHP application server are installed and running on your system, then you must create a root folder for your PHP files.
    Configuring your Macintosh system (PHP)
    If you're a Macintosh user, you can run PHP pages on your computer using the Apache web server and PHP application server installed with your operating system. Configuring your system consists of making sure the web server and PHP application server are working, then creating a root folder for your PHP files.
    Testing the PHP installation (Macintosh)
    You can test the Apache web server and PHP application server on your Macintosh by running a test page.
    However, before you can use the web server to serve PHP pages and content from MySQL databases, you must configure the server to work with PHP and MySQL. For information on this process, see www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/php_macintosh.html.
    To test the Apache web server and PHP application server:
    1. Configure the server as described in the article on the Macromedia website.
    2. In Dreamweaver or any text editor, create a plain text file and name it timetest.php.
    3. In the file, enter the following code:
    4. This page was created at
    5. <?php echo date("h:i:s a", time()); ?>
    6. on the computer running PHP.
    7. This code displays the time the page was processed on the server.
    8. Copy the file to the /Users/yourusername/Sites folder on your Macintosh.
    9. This Sites folder is your personal root folder for the Apache web server.
    10. In your web browser, enter the following URL and press Return:
    11. http://localhost/~yourusername/timetest.php
    The test page should open and display a time of day.
    The specified time is known as dynamic content because it changes every time you request the page. Click your browser's Refresh button to generate a new page with a different time.
    Note: Looking at the source code (View > View Source in Safari) will confirm that the page does not use any client-side JavaScript to achieve this effect.
    If the page doesn't work as expected, check for the following possible errors:
    • The file does not have a .php extension.
    • The URL contains a typing mistake. Check for errors and make sure the filename is not followed by a slash, such as http://localhost/~yourusername/timetest.php/. Also make sure you included the tilde (~) before your user name.
    • The page code contains a typing mistake.
    • The Apache server is not running. Look in System Preferences, in the Sharing category, to see whether Personal Web Sharing is enabled.
    After testing and testing the server software, create a root folder for your web application. (See Creating a root folder (Macintosh).)
    Creating a root folder (Macintosh)
    After the server software is installed, create a root folder for your web application on the Macintosh.
    To create a root folder for your web application:
    • Create a folder called MySampleApp in the /Users/yourusername/Sites folder.
    • Apache will process any page in this folder or in any of its subfolders in response to an HTTP request from a web browser.
    After configuring your system, you must define a Dreamweaver site. (See Defining a Dreamweaver site (PHP).)
    Defining a Dreamweaver site (PHP)
    After configuring your system, copy the sample files to a local folder and define a Dreamweaver site to manage the files.
    Note: If you're a Macromedia HomeSite or ColdFusion Studio user, you may find it useful to think of a Dreamweaver site as being like a HomeSite or Studio project.
    Copying the sample files
    If you haven't already done so, copy the sample files from the Dreamweaver application folder to a folder on your hard disk.
    To copy the sample files:
    1. Create a new folder called Sites-Local in your user folder on your hard disk.
    2. For example, create one of the following folders:
    • C:\Documents and Setting\yourusername\My Documents\Sites-Local (Windows)
    • /Users/yourusername/Documents/Sites-Local (Macintosh).
    3. Note: On the Macintosh, there's a folder called Sites already in your user folder. Don't use that Sites folder as your local folder; the Sites folder is where you place your pages to make them publicly accessible when you're using the Macintosh as a web server.
    4. Locate the GettingStarted folder in the Dreamweaver application folder on your hard disk.
    5. If you installed Dreamweaver to its default location, the path to the folder is as follows:
    • C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Samples\GettingStarted\ (Windows)
    • /Applications/Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004/Samples/GettingStarted (Macintosh)
    6. Copy the GettingStarted folder into the Sites-Local folder.
    After copying the GettingStarted folder, define the folder as a Dreamweaver local folder. (See Defining a local folder.)
    Defining a local folder
    After copying the GettingStarted folder, define the folder containing the PHP sample files as a Dreamweaver local folder.
    To define the Dreamweaver local folder:
    1. In Dreamweaver, select Site > Manage Sites. In the Manage Sites dialog box, click the New button, then select Site.
    2. The Site Definition dialog box appears.
    3. If the Basic tab is showing, click the Advanced tab.
    4. In the Site Name text box, enter Trio-PHP.
    5. The name identifies your site within Dreamweaver.
    6. Click the folder icon next to the Local Root Folder text box, then browse to and select the folder (inside the GettingStarted folder) that contains the PHP sample files. The folder should be as follows:
    • C:\Documents and Setting\yourusername\My Documents\Sites-Local\GettingStarted\ 4-Develop\php (Windows)
    • /Users/yourusername/Documents/Sites-Local/GettingStarted/4-Develop/php (Macintosh)
    Leave the Site Definition dialog box open. Next, define a web server folder as a Dreamweaver remote folder. (See Defining a remote folder.)
    Defining a remote folder
    After defining a local folder, define a web server folder as a Dreamweaver remote folder.
    To define the Dreamweaver remote folder:
    1. In the Advanced tab of the Site Definition dialog box, select Remote Info from the Category list.
    2. The Remote Info screen appears.
    3. In the Access pop-up menu, choose how you want to move your files to and from the server: across a local network (the Local/Network option) or using FTP.
    4. Note: There are other options in the Access pop-up menu, but this chapter doesn't cover them. For information about them, see Using Dreamweaver Help.
    5. Enter the path or FTP settings to the web server folder you created in Creating a root folder (Windows).
    6. The folder may be on your hard disk or on a remote computer. Even if you created the folder on your hard disk, that folder is still considered to be the remote folder. The following example shows a possible Remote Folder path if you chose Local/Network access and your remote folder is on your Windows hard disk:
    7. Remote Folder: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySampleApp
    8. On the Macintosh, the folder might be as follows:
    9. Remote Folder: /Users/yourusername/Sites/MySampleApp
    10. For more information on FTP, see "Setting Remote Info options for FTP access" in Using Dreamweaver Help.
    Leave the Site Definition dialog box open. Next, define a folder to process dynamic pages. (See Specifying where dynamic pages can be processed (PHP).)
    Specifying where dynamic pages can be processed (PHP)
    After defining the Dreamweaver remote folder, specify a folder to process dynamic pages. Dreamweaver uses this folder to display dynamic pages and connect to databases while you're developing your application.
    To specify the folder to process dynamic pages:
    1. In the advanced Site Definition dialog box, click Testing Server in the Category list.
    2. The Testing Server screen appears. Dreamweaver needs the services of a testing server to generate and display dynamic content while you work. The testing server can be your local computer, a development server, a staging server, or a production server, as long as it can process PHP pages. In many situations, including setting up for the Trio site, you can use the same settings as the Remote Info category (see Defining a remote folder) because they point to a server capable of processing PHP pages.
    3. Select PHP MySQL from the Server Model pop-up menu.
    4. In the Access pop-up menu, select the same method (Local/Network or FTP) you specified for accessing your remote folder.
    5. Dreamweaver enters the settings you specified in the Remote Info category. Leave the settings unchanged.
    6. In the URL Prefix text box, enter the root URL you would enter in a web browser to request a page in your web application.
    7. To display live data in your pages while you work, Dreamweaver creates a temporary file, copies it to the website's root folder, and attempts to request it using the URL prefix.
    8. Dreamweaver makes a best guess at the URL prefix based on the information you provided in the Site Definition dialog box. However, the suggested URL prefix may be incorrect. Correct or enter a new URL prefix if the suggestion in Dreamweaver is incorrect. For more information, see "About the URL prefix" in Dreamweaver Help (Help > Using Dreamweaver).
    9. For the PHP sample content in Windows, the prefix should be as follows:
    10. URL Prefix: http://localhost/MySampleApp/
    11. On the Macintosh, the prefix should be as follows:
    12. URL Prefix: http://localhost/~yourusername/MySampleApp/
    13. Tip: The URL prefix should always specify a directory, rather than a particular page on the site. Also, be sure to use the same capitalization you used when you created the folder.
    14. Click OK to define the site and dismiss the Site Definition dialog box, then click Done to dismiss the Manage Sites dialog box.
    After specifying a folder to process dynamic pages, upload the sample files to the web server. (See Uploading the sample files.)
    Uploading the sample files
    After specifying a folder to process dynamic pages, upload the sample files to the web server. You must upload the files even if the web server is running on your local computer.
    If you don't upload the files, features such as Live Data view and Preview in Browser may not work properly with dynamic pages. For example, image links might be broken in Live Data view because the image files are not on the server yet. Similarly, clicking a link to a detail page while previewing a master page in a browser will cause an error if the detail page is missing from the server.
    To upload the samples files to the web server:
    1. In the Files panel (Window > Files), select the root folder of the site in the Local View pane.
    2. The root folder is the first folder in the list.
    3. Click the blue Put Files arrow icon in the Files panel toolbar, and confirm that you want to upload the entire site.
    4. Dreamweaver copies all the files to the web server folder you defined in Defining a remote folder.
    The Dreamweaver site is now defined. The next step is to connect to the sample database installed with Dreamweaver. (See Connecting to the sample database (PHP).)
    Connecting to the sample database (PHP)
    During installation, Dreamweaver copies a SQL script to your hard disk. You can use this script to automatically create a sample MySQL database. This section describes how to create a connection to the sample database.
    This section assumes you have installed and configured MySQL on your local or remote computer. To download and install the database system, visit the MySQL website at www.mysql.com.
    Creating the MySQL database
    The sample files for Dreamweaver MX 2004 include a SQL script capable of creating and populating a sample MySQL database.
    Before starting, make sure MySQL is installed and configured on your local or remote computer. You can download the latest version from the MySQL website at www.mysql.com.
    To create the sample MySQL database:
    1. Copy the SQL script file, insert.sql, to an appropriate folder on the computer that has MySQL installed.
    2. If you installed Dreamweaver to its default location, the path to the script file is as follows:
    • C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Samples\Database\insert.sql (Windows)
    • /Applications/Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004/Samples/Database/insert.sql (Macintosh)
    3. If the computer running MySQL is a Windows computer, copy the insert.sql script to MySql\Bin. If the computer running MySQL is a Macintosh, copy the insert.sql script to your Documents folder in your home folder.
    4. On the computer that has MySQL installed, open a command prompt window (Windows) or a Terminal window (Macintosh).
    • In Windows, you can open the command prompt by selecting Start > Programs > Command Prompt or Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
    • On the Macintosh, you can open a Terminal window by going to the Applications folder, opening the Utilities folder, and double-clicking Terminal.
    5. (Windows only) Change to the mysql\bin directory by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
    6. cd \
    7. cd mysql\bin
    8. Note: On the Macintosh, you should be able to run mysql from any directory; it should have been added to your path during installation of MySQL. If the following step doesn't work on the Macintosh, though, try typing /usr/local/bin/mysql instead of mysql.
    9. Start the MySQL client by entering the following command:
    10. mysql -uUser -pPassword
    11. For example, if your MySQL user name (also known as an account name) and password are Tara and Telly3, then enter the following command:
    12. mysql -uTara -pTelly3
    13. If you don't have a password, omit the -p argument as follows:
    14. mysql -uTara
    15. If you didn't define a user name while configuring your MySQL installation, enter root as the user name, as follows:
    16. mysql -uroot
    17. The MySQL client's command prompt appears, as follows:
    18. mysql>
    19. Create a new database by entering the following command at the MySQL prompt:
    20. mysql>CREATE DATABASE TrioMotors;[/quote]
    Last login: Mon Mar 27 23:05:38 on ttyp1
    Welcome to Darwin!
    mac:~ albert$ mysql -uMonaco
    Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
    Your MySQL connection id is 13 to server version: 4.1.18-standard

    mysql> CREATE DATABASE TrioMotors;
    ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'triomotors'
    mysql>
    Needless to say, I can't get any further. :-/
    [quote=macromedia help files]21. MySQL creates a new database, but it doesn't contain any tables or records yet.
    22. Log out of the MySQL client by entering the following command at the prompt:
    23. mysql>quit;
    24. At the system command prompt, populate the new TrioMotors database in MySQL.
    25. In Windows, use the following command:
    26. mysql -uUser -pPassword TrioMotors < insert.sql
    27. On the Macintosh, use the following command:
    28. mysql -uUser -pPassword TrioMotors < ~/Documents/insert.sql
    29. This command uses the insert.sql file to add tables and records to the TrioMotors database you created in step 5.
    After creating the MySQL database, create a database connection to it in Dreamweaver. (See Creating a database connection.)[/quote]

  • DW wont open PHP file

    I have a PHP page that include();s a file that contains the
    page's <html> tag and <head> and <frameset>
    sections ending with a <noframe> tag. When I open this page

    instead of the requested file. (If the frame file doesn't exist, DW
    opens a new empty XHTML file.)
    Also when I open the included file, DW adds
    </noframe><noframe> after my <noframe> tag.
    Can anyone tell me how to tell DW to keep its fingers out of

  • Can't open .ses file in Cool Edit 2.1

    Hello,
    I hope I'm on the right forum here. I have a big problem with a *.ses file in Cool Edit 2.1. When I try to open it it simply doesn't do anything. It starts Cool Edit but it doesn't start importing the files and effects of the tracks.
    I saved the project last night, there is no recover file for it. There are to many wav files to recover it manually...
    If someone could help me and give an advice why I can't open it anymore, I would be really thankful!
    Greetings,
    Christian

    Thanks Steve
    Just email me the ses file (no audio).
    Send it to me via the aatranslator website
    You should checkout my SesBackup program - also available via the same site

  • Can't open .mov files for iMovie editing; can't even view in QuickTime, etc

    Our band recently had a videographer record our performance using two panasonic hd cameras: AG-HVX200 and HPX170. Both were set to hd 720 X (?) at 30 fps.
    All files were saved as .mov files.
    We can't see them at all. We were told that they were designed to be opened in Final Cut Pro (which we told him not to do).
    We do have Final Cut Express, but neither FCE nor iM allows us to select the files ("grey'ed" out).
    Can someone please help us understand how to open these files? Do we need a specific codec?
    Thanks much.

    I am no expert on DVC Pro HD, but here is what I found out.
    HD compression format by Panasonic. 
    Similar compression type to DV 25 but uses a higher bit rate up to 100 Mbit/sec,  depending on 
    the specific HD format being recorded. Highly popular format because of its lowe r bit rates, and 
    incredible resolution considering how highly compressed the format is. 
    This format is very popular as an acquisition format used with Panasonic's Varic am camera as well>as several Panasonic cameras that record to P2 card systems. A lso used heavily to convert higher->end HD formats into a high quality offline e diting format. Uses component recording, DCT 
    compression at approx. 7:1 (intraframe), 4:2:2 color sampling, 8->bit depth and  up to 8 audio channels. 
    1080 formats record at 1280x1080, 720 formats record at 960x720. At 1080p, frame  rates include>23.98, 24, 25 fps. At 1080i, frame rates include 25, 29.97, 30 fp s. At 720p, frame rates include 
    23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 59.94, 60 fps.

    I agree that you want AIC not DV. AIC is a 4:2:0 codec so you will lose some quality, but it is your best option without buying FCP.

  • Unable to open .ACSM file in Digital Editions on intel Mac OS X

    I am on an intel based Mac running OS X and have recently purchased an eBook for Digital Editions.  I had previously purchased a Digital Editions format eBook and had no problems with it, and am currently able to view it in Digital Editions.  I have downloaded the .ACSM file for my new eBook, however, when I attempt to assign the file to open with Digital Editions, the Digital Editions program window opens, but no activity concerning my new eBook occurs, and all that is listed is my previously purchased eBook.  I have also attempted dragging the .ACSM file directly to the Digital Editions program window, as I have heard that this works on occasion, but still nothing.  I have only ever installed DE version 1.7.1 and have no previous editions that would need to be uninstalled.  Any ideas?

  • Cannot open .acsm files in Digital Editions 1.7.1.1085

    i have downloaded an ebook in .acsm file but cannot open it in the latest version of Digital Editions. 
    .acsm files are correctly associated with Digital Editions on my system (i'm running Visa)
    when i try to add items to the library, the only allowed extensions are .pdf and .epub. 
    hope someone can help

    Thank you for your answer, but I forgot to say that yesterday I also tried to download a file from your free library. Actually, I needed to be sure the problem didn't come
    from my pc or from the ebookstore I bought the epub files from, anyway, when trying to open files I got the same window with the same message. I don't think
    files on your library are expired ones too.
    I selected France as region and  French as language, but I live in a french territory in the South Pacific, may this fact be a problem for reading epub files?
    Is there any legal way to convert these urlinkascm files into pdf ones?
    Thanks

  • Opening DOC files shows corrupted, EDIT works.

    I have super weird problem. Freshly installed office 2013 home n student x86, windows 8,1 x86, all latest update's offered are installed.
    What happens that only on few doc documents on opening word says they are corrupted or that i may not have permission to open them.If you right click and select EDIT option, it opens and works just normal i can editi it and save it afterwards, but again
    i cant just open it by double clicking.
    I already tried re-installing office and same problem.

    Hi,
    The issue might be caused by some compatibility between Word 2013 and Doc file. I recommend we try the following workarounds:
    1. Copy all the connect from Doc file to a new blank Docx file.
    2. Convert the Doc file to Docx file.

  • My Firefox is not loading webpages with the extention .php Why Is This and How Can I Open .php Files In Firefox?

    my firefox 4 web browser is not loading web pages with the file extention .php what can i do to load .php web pages in firefox?

    No, I know full well what .chm files are, and how to search for info about them. I'd rather have an answer to the specific question I asked, which I asked for specific reasons.
    You seem to have ignored my question, and leapt to massive assumptions about what I "really" need, and it's puzzling that you persist with them even after I've told you your assumptions are wrong. Your answers come across as somewhat patronising, maybe intentionally so - is that what you intended? Why would you do that?
